Reduction of with sodium amalgam in the presence of potential ligands results in the formation of a series of new complexes containing η3-TRI.These include 6-C6H5R)(TRI) (where R = H, Me, MeO), 5-C5H5)(H)(TRI)>, (where R = Me, Et), and fac-.Protonation of the arene complexes results in the formation of both mono- and diprotonated complexes.Keywords: Molybdenum; Phosphine; Phosphite; Dinitrogen; η6-Benzene complex; η6-Arene complex.

The electrochemical reduction of the 15-electron molybdenum(III) complex , dpepp = Ph2PCH2CH2P(Ph)CH2CH2PPh2, has been studied in the presence of PPh3 under argon and under molecular nitrogen.The primary reduction of the trichloride involves a reversible single-electron transfer to give the unstable 16-electron molybdenum(II) anion -.Loss of chloride from this anion prior to or following further electron transfer provides two principal pathways to molybdenum(0) products, 6-C6H5PPh2)(dpepp)> under Ar or cis- under molecular nitrogen, a relatively high potential via molybdenum(I) solvated intermediates and a low potential pathway via trans-.The cis-dinitrogen complex is unstable on the preparative timescale, small amounts of trans- are formed, presumably by isomerisation, but the major product is the η6-arene complex.
